If you can post the katanga.log and output_log.txt from:

%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Katanga\Katanga\output_log.txt

I can take a look.


Might be worth doing a reset of all Katanga configurations to default using both triggers on VR controllers, or backtick+backspace at the same time when Katanga is in front.

Will work to reset all preferences, even if it's doing the slideshow by running it manually.

ok I was just trying to run Black Mesa and I got the exact same error.

Here is the output log: https://gofile.io/d/n8froM


BONUS question: Also I keep getting this error since the day 1 I bougth helixvision, I can use it but it is very annoying as each time I run this I have to close the message in VR:

<b>[SteamVR]</b> Error loading action manifest into SteamVR: NoData

This message popups in VR with the binding screen and I have to close it before the game starts. (when it works)

I've mentioned this before, but I'll repeat myself. You really need to clean up your system. Your Steam is corrupted, which is why you keep getting all these errors.

We test on 7 different setups and never see these errors, and you are the only one reporting them from the field.

Uninstall SteamVR and probably Steam itself, completely. Delete the folders that are left over. Then do a clean install of Steam and SteamVR.


Thank you for the log file- this also demonstrates that your Steam is corrupted.

That's a fundamental part of SteamVR, that draws the Steam Dashboard and other overlays in VR. This is called directly by Unity, not by us. This is not our crash.

Corrupted systems do not get better on their own-they continue to get worse as errors propagate.


Regarding the VR bindings not being found, this is the error in the log:

The bindings are also corrupt, so they cannot be found.


I know you have said you would prefer not to reinstall, or do a clean Win10 install, but your system has serious damage. You would be well served by doing a completely clean install of Win10.

IIRC you always run everything with Admin privileges, which also means you have a good chance of having a virus or root kit on your system, that could cause these errors. It's time for some serious maintenance on your system.

ok I will try reinstalling Steam, but how can this be possible the only game that I had issues?
I'm using VorpX as well, and Virtual Desktop, both programs add overlays to the system I have also Antivirus programs. The admin permissions is because I'm doing some tests with Unity for other reasons but is not always.
The thing is that this is the only game that I have with issues, but no worries I can try to install Steam again to be sure.

Thanks for trying that as a check. It's always possible we are missing something on our end, the setup is pretty complicated.

It's interesting that you are doing Unity development, and potentially related if you changed the VR manifest.

However, we just got a second report of nearly identical problems on the ci_beta:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1127310/discussions/0/2793873675754424007/

Which makes it much less likely to be your machine.


The VR manifests did have a problem quite awhile ago, that happened because of renaming the exe file.

Would be worth doing a clean install of HelixVision as a test to, including deleting the leftover folder from your Steam Library.

It works now! I did both things I reainstalled Stem on a new Drive and also HelixVision on a different library because of your comment.
I have seen the same error on a different game but not on Pinball FX3 anymore. I will keep testing other games and will provide further feedback if I need to try any other fix. But this one is solved. I edited also the first post and title.

Thanks!!!

Great! Very glad that you are back in operation.

I can't explain the error that you have seen there, and it's even more strange if it's working on FX3, but not on something else. I would definitely expect it to be all or none for this missing VR manifest error.

If you run into this problem of missing VR controls again, this post might help:

He found that the path specified in his Steam->Config->steamvr.settings file had the wrong path for the HelixVision app.

Since you deleted the full Steam folder, I think yours has already been reset and rebuilt to the correct path.

(I have no insight into how this might have been broken. Thanks for the effort to debug.)
